Moving GFDL documentation to non-free



Hi,

The Emacs documentation is going to be moved to non-free since
it is GFDLed with invariant sections.

I'd like know how packagers who have the same problem usually
handle this, especially the non-free package.

The simplest way I can see is to take the pristine tarball and rename
to foo-non-free of foo-non-dfsg, and to just install what was removed
from the modified tarball in main. However, the Emacs tarball is
18 megs big so I'm not sure ftp masters would allow it in the archive.

Is the common trend doing this, or do packagers just create custom
tarballs by leaving only what's necessary plus a minimal custom build
infrastructure?

Thanks.
